SENIOR CLASS HISTORY
The history of the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-two of Bethel Academy is
peculiarly different from that of a graduating class of a city high school. In securing our
academic education we have been surrounded by a Christian atmosphere, which will be of
untold benefit to us in life, helping us to live up to our motto: "Simplicity, Sincerity, and
Service." Then, our social activities have been different. The members of the class do
not live all in one locality but represent nine different states and one foreign country.
In delving into our archives we found volumes of interesting statistics and stories of
past glories that we would like to bring to light, but lack of space and time forbids our
doing so.
Canto I
Back in the fall of 1918, when the world had just fairly started to shake itself free
from the horrors of the stupendous World War, we started our career as a class. If we
remember rightly, "Freshmen," was the word that the other classes insisted on calling us.
And since everybody likes fresh fruit and vegetables, we imagine that the other classes
really liked us.
Do you remember our first business meeting when it took us all evening just to sug-gest
the candidates for the class offices? One social event of the first month of school,
which we as the class of '22 will never forget, was the initiation given us by the Alpha
Beta society, when they served us Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk and soft bread.
We certainly appreciated their care for our diet and wish here to thank them for it, if they
should chance to read this canto.
The big outstanding event of the Freshman year, however, was a banquet given in
honor of the Seniors. Never before or after has any Freshman class attempted to do that
thing. That the Seniors appreciated it is proven by the fact that they, some weeks later,
returned compliments in form of a banquet in honor of the "Freshies."

.42 Canto II ,
In September 1919. our class found itself transplanted from the forests, plains, and
cities, where the summer vacations had been spent, to the school of our choice, ready to
begin a new year of search for knowledge. The Sophomore year was really the most try,
ing of the quartette of years we spent in Bethel. The boisterous Freshmen, the busy Juniors
and the dignified Seniors generally received so much attention, that the Sophomores almost
wondered if they were not relegated behind the stage of school life, to be forgotten.
But the class of '22 as Sophomores were not to be daunted by any neglect on the part
of the other classes, so we just quietly but surely went to work and entertained ourselves.

We all remember our first social gathering, how Russell Palmquist was discovered as a
story teller. Ever since, he has kept our class in good humor whenever he is around. At
that gathering, Lester MacMillan rendered his first and only piano solo, and long may
it wave. Another unique feature of that meeting was that Carol Taylor was there, this
being the first and last social she attended during her career at Bethel. The Sophomore
year finally came to a close and we parted with a determination to return again in the fall
and bring others with us.
Canto III
September 14, 1920, found the class of '22 back in the office of the principal signing the
registration cards, and renewing old acquaintances, and meeting many new students.
Co-operation and system became the characteristics of this new Junior class. Early
in the year, the class was organized, electing the necessary officers and committees. One
of the many virtues of the Junior class was that it was always sociable. Remembering
Sophomore days, we invited that class twice during the year, to have joint meetings with
us. Then we surely had some good times. Extemporaneous debates were very popular
at our gatherings, and some of the, deep, highly elevating, philosophical topics discussed
were: "Resolved, That the Swedish language should predominate in Bethel," and "Resolved,
That a chicken has more intelligence than a duck." Talents had been increasing in our
class so that we now had orators, preachers, house-maids, butlers, athletes, poets, evan-gelists
and singers. We would just mention Enoch Johnson's name and everyone immed-iately
thought of a second Caruso. Toward the close of the year, Russel Palmquist fore-told
our future positions twenty-five years hence in a class prophecy that caused the Juniors
to reel with laughter.
The later days were spent preparing for the Junior-Senior banquet under the able
direction of our class advisor, Miss Freda Swenson. This banquet has gone down on the
pages of history as the greatest ever held in Bethel Academy. Thus closed the happy
Junior year.
Canto IV
In the fall of 1921, just after the great fifty years jubilee celebration of the Swedish
Baptists of America had taken place, the class of '22 again alighted from the Como cars
and walked five blocks north to Bethel to finish their academic curriculum. At last we
were Seniors and oh, what an exalted feeling crept over us when we walked around the
halls and saw so many new Freshmen. The Seniors were to take a prominent place in
school affairs this year. In athletics the Seniors took first place, winning the inter-class
basket ball tournament. Many class socials with splendid programs were given through-out
the year. On Monday evening, April 10th, the class entertained the faculty at a ban-quet
given in the Commodore hotel, St. Paul, the first of its kind ever given by a Senior
class. On Saturday evening, April 22nd, the Seniors gave their annual class entertainment,
to the largest crowd that ever attended a Senior doings. The auditorium was crowded to
the doors. The big features of the entertainment were "Back to the Farm" by Herbert
Peterson, and the "Class Reunion Twenty-five Years from Now" given by the entire class.
To show our appreciation to good old Bethel the class has decided to install a Radio
receiving apparatus to be used in connection with the Science Department, and which we
hope to have installed before graduation.
At the time of this writing the class is looking forward to graduation, and after that
has taken place, all school life at Bethel will be a matter of history, but ever to be remem-bered
with a joy in our hearts by all members of the class of '22.
SENIOR CLASS POEM
When first we came to Bethel dear,
We were but freshies green, I fear,
We thought we knew what teachers know
And teachers see,
And battled every earthly foe
But victors we.
The year we call our senior year
Our school grows very, very dear.
Tho' soon we'll leave, to toil and care
We still are here
And pluck the fruits of Knowledge fair,
In Senior year.
But time went on. The freshies passed.
A year is all those glories last.
And Sophomore's ranks by us were filled
A comely class.
At Fall we all were really thrilled
It came to pass.
Hail, Bethel, Alma Mater true,
We thank our Lord, dear one, for you
And tho' we leave, our thoughts will pause
A moment stay
At sweet melodious time that was,
But passed away.
Of all the years in school we spent
No time was more to proudness lent
Than proud and selfish sophomore year
With freshies green
Who must be taught respect, and fear
Our powers keen.
Four years, too short a time, but still
Tho' life may give us more of thrill
And more of joys but hardships, too,
We ne'er regret
The joyous time at Bethel true
Or her forget.
As Juniors, classified the third
Our minds by Senior thoughts were stirred.
We dreamt of one great closing day
When toils are past,
Next fall would find us, after summer's stay
As Senior's classed.
Receive our thanks from hearts sincere
May God still bless you, Him you fear,
And take our greatest gift, our heartfelt
thanks,
Our wishes true
We'll fill each one the honor ranks
To honor you.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY
Old Father Time sits by and watches ages upon ages roll by. His hair is white, his
brow is furrowed, his benevolent countenance expresses joy. The great clock of time is
striking year 1950. As is his custom, Father Time opens his great diary to again record
the deeds of the children of men. His face brightens and his voice as the sound of many
waters pours forth. With a smile he says, "Blessings on thee, Bethel Academy Class of
1922, posterity salutes you! As I gaze over the wide world I find your members everywhere,
performing the work of the world. My old eyes are dimmed with tears as I behold in a
wretched hovel in the slums of New York City two busy women, Carol Taylor and Hannah
Wiggman, fighting filth and disease, spreading cheer and the love of Christ everywhere
about them. All the children know them by the name of the 'ladies who tell us about
Jesus.' The ambulance appears, and with an anxious look Hannah is sending little Johnny
to Hope Hospital. I'll follow along to see what happens. Lo, and behold, the door of the
hospital is opened by no one but the great Dr. Enoch Johnson. That can't possibly be the
fellow they called Red years ago; but that's just the fellow. He is considerably changed,
however. His hair is tinged with gray, and a small moustache adds to his manliness. What
strikes me most, though, is the look in his eyes as he gazes upon little Johnny on his bed of
suffering. The doctor is evidently directing the care of the boy to a sweet-faced nurse, who
immediately trips lightly ahead of the stretcher and puts the small patient in a clean, white
bed. After making him comfortable, she takes his temperature. But what is that ring she
has on her finger? Why, I could have guessed it; it's one of the B. A. '22 rings, and this
smiling face is Esther Bodien's. But what has this messenger to tell someone at the door
of the dietitian's office? 'The superintendent of nurses would like to see you, Miss Land-berg.'
What, another familiar name? I'll follow Miss Landberg to Miss Bodien's office
and hear what they say. 'Hello, Esther, what is it?' 0 say, Eva, there's a little fellow up
here whom I am giving a little personal attention for the first days. Kindly give him an
extra dish occasionally. His name is Johnny, one of Hannah's boys.' " Father Time
meanders, "Well, if I haven't met with five members of '22 in connection with this hospital.
Birds of a feather flock together.
"Perhaps, traveling westward, I shall find a few of ' my chosen tribe.' I'll stop here
in Cheyenne. Beside a pretty little stream stands a beautiful home. The home is worthy
of an artistic inmate and so it has Mr. Burriss Richardson. Upon a rustic bench sits a man
before a canvass with a brush in his hand. His dreams make marvelous pictures, and the
golden sunset, the green trees, and the winding rivulet make an excellent setting."
The speaker turns a page, and his trembling hand makes the paper rustle. He turns
his head still farther westward and his eye is arrested by a large crowd of people in a book-store
in Seattle. He sees a middle-aged man with an amused and good-natured smile on
his face watching what seems to be a bargain counter. Upon looking closer he finds it to
be a counter where a new book, "The Passing of the Garage," by Sigfried Sandberg, is
being sold and going like 'hot cakes." Father Time speaks: "Why, this onlooker must be,
and is, the author, he who is known over land and sea."
The seer turns his eyes back to the east and they rest on a great meeting. An inter-national
assemblage of bards is in session in one of the buildings of Bethel University. The
assemblage has just elected a peer of poets. "They are introducing the new peer, I notice,
and it is none other than Professor Herbert Peterson. He is preparing to speak, and see
24
how the audience is becoming electrified with attention for 'Pete' is puckering his lips as he
used to do, which always meant some inimitable witticism. Well up in front, a face draws
my attention, and it proves to be none other than Edith Larson, who seems to be taking
notes on the address. Yes, Edith is a well-known contributer to literature and is nationally
recognized as one of the foremost literary critics.
" Bethel has grown till it is one of the largest Universities of the Northwest. It is
remarkable how it has advanced from an academy of a few hundred students and small
equipment to an institution with a score of beautiful buildings and an enrollment reaching
up into the thousands, but this is greatly due to the interest of the many alumni.
"And here—do my eyes deceive me—I recognize a graceful, womanly form entering
one of the buildings. Upon my word, it's Dora Wallendorf, who is Dean of Women and
head of the Economics department of the school.
"Perhaps I should find some others of that special class should I visit Minneapolis.
On the corner of Ninth and Nicollet I at once notice a large white stone building. In large
letters I read the familiar names, Mac Millan-Hagstrom Clothing House. I need go no
farther, for right here my penetrating eyes can see the richly furnished offices of two of my
former student friends. Immediately next door I see another high building. Evidently
this is a community house. In the front are large lobbies and in one corner I see the familiar
face of Margaret Olson welcoming the weary wayfarers. Her hair, also, is tinged with gray,
but her beauty is not marred. My eye is held by a name I see on the desk beside her, 'Har-old
Martinson, President!"
Father Time strokes his beard, then continues: "But where is Edward Viren ? The
last record I have of him was when he received his degree in astronomy from Oxford. Be-hold,
a large tower, an observatory in the northern part of Minnesota near his birthplace.
Here I find him gazing through the telescope, traveling up the cloudy speck in the handle
of Orion's sword. Along a shady bank of an isolated stream in the Minnesota wilds, I find
two shaggy-bearded fishermen. Suddenly one says, 'Hank, have you heard this one?' The
speaker is Dr. Reuben Tanquist, now resting up after a world-wide lecture tour. He is
speaking to Henry Johnson, lately returned from a visit to Mars. Henry Johnson is a
special representative of the Government, whose business it is to establish diplomatic rela-tions
with newly discovered populated planets.
"Next my attention is called to the United States Patent Office in Washington. Here
I see the electrical wizard, Roland Miller, from the Corn state petitioning for a number of
patents, chief of which seems to be a pompadour beautifier and hair wave creator. His face
has a look of resignation in it as he sits in the office of Patent Examiner, listening to the
eulogy of the lost town of Little Falls as expounded by the examiner, David Larson. While
in Washington I am attracted to the aviation fields where multitudes are gathering. A new
method of travel has been invented—that of a boat which travels on the wireless waves.
Suddenly something darts from the sky and drops into the outspread net. It is the new
invention and from the boat steps Carl Swanson and Adolph Johnson. It is announced
that they had left Peking, China, only a second before, and that the trip was entirely suc-cessful.
"Now my eyes turn again to the great city New York. Seeing a great auditorium, I
may as well stop and follow the performance. The speaker is being introduced who proves
25
1922 — Blue E Gray — 1922
to be none other than George Ferre, formerly a minister of the Gospel, but at the request of
his multitudinous friends, he consents to run for mayor's office. The great auditorium rings
as he announces his platform which is death to the tobacco industry and a strict Sky Blue
Sunday. Next Miss Willimine Thompson is introduced as candidate for Police Commis-sioner's
office. With snapping eyes, she denounces the present loose system, and offers a
thorough clean-up and a white-washed town.
"While in New York, I may as well visit the studio of Bertha Rask, sculptress. She
has recently risen to prominence by her marvelous work, 'The Schoolmaster," immortal-izing
the great professor of Twentieth Century English of '22. Odd, but true, as I look upon
the statute the Bethel spirit radiates from that humanized countenance.
"My attention is all at once caught by a scene I see in an Omaha home. Here sits
Eleanore Bonde, my old friend, with her foot she rocks the cradle, and is queen of all the
world, and with her pen she writes down thoughts that have raised the ideals of her sex to
a level never before reached.
"A great steamer is entering the harbor of Chicago from New York and Europe. Pac-ing
the deck, I see an outstanding figure, evidently a statesman, judging from his frock-coat
and tall hat. In his arms are two dark-skinned babies. I recognize Claus Hammarstrom,
United States minister to Turkey, coming home for a conference. It appears that he is a
confirmed bachelor and that he has just adopted a pair of Turkish twins of whom he is
very proud."
Next Father Time turns to Congo, Africa, where Bethel has her representative, Carl
Ackerman and Ernest Ellstrom are doing a great work as missionaries. He finds that Carl
is called the " Second Livingstone" because of his and Earnest's labors in this field.
Back to New York City, to a great mass meeting, Father Time turns his gaze, Dr. R.
0. Palmquist is standing on a raised platform gasticulating as is his custom. His profusion
of curls have miraculously disappeared from his head, and instead, have found a permanent
abode upon his upper lip. The cause of his enthusiasm is the repeal of the Nineteenth
Amendment: "Women of the world, I appeal to you to return to your desolate homes, and
carry out the mission which was given to mothers."
"Far out on the steppes of Russia, I find a sandy-bearded, gruff sea captain, whose
occupation has sadly bowed his legs. He is sailing his small schooner under the flag of the
Norwegian Soviet Government in quest of the lost bridge between the eastern and western
hemispheres. The old salt is none other than Ernest Hasselblad. I hear a call from the
cabin: 'Oh, captain, I have found a new chord on the organ! How I bless Bethel for donat-ing
to us that pipe organ, and Providence for giving me little Jack to pump it!' The voice
is none other than that of Elvira Scherling, the wife of the captain's second mate."
Father Time now closes the chapter twenty-eight of the record book of the class of '22
with the satisfaction that its members have contributed their share toward world progress
thus fulfilling their class motto—" Simplicity, Sincerity and Service."

Beauty Specialist Tells Secret
Mr. Archie Vetter, the well known beauty
specialist of Juniorville and author of "Maid-enly
Culture," recently gave out the follow-ing
statement regarding gray hair:
"Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at
home that will darken gray hair. To a half
pint of wood alcohol add one counce of bay
rum, a small box of Bed Bug Compound
and one-quarter ounce of nytro-glycerine.
Shake well before using."
JUNIORVILLE WOMAN GAINS ENTRY
INTO FLOWDERED EXILE OF
FORMER AUSTRIAN RULER
Mrs. Robt. Welliver and Daughter Reach
"Sanctuary of Kultur" on Island of
Maderia, But "Visit" is
cut Short.
By Albert Sorenson, Juniorville Correspondent
Rome, March 15 (by mail.—One of the
most sensational news pickups of the day
is the story of how a Juniorville woman
gained entrance to the villa of Charles of
Austria in his flowered Maderia retreat.
Mrs. Robert Welliver and her daughter,
together with a number of friends from
Juniorville recently landed on the Island of
Maderia off the coast of Portugal. Allan
Munson, Elsie Hagberg, and Edith Palm
were with her and, like the majority of
tourists, were inquisitive.
They had not been on the island long
before they discovered the ex-emperor's es-tate.
Led by Mrs. Welliver, they walked
boldly up to the gate, which seemed to have
"No Admittance Here!" written all over it.
For a moment they were perplexed as to
how they should get inside and view the
floral display but Juniorville ingenuity was
aided at this moment by the arrival of an
automobile, which evidently belonged to the
place.
Mrs. Welliver spoke to the driver in Eng-lish—
he gurgled back a few sounds in Por-tugese.
Mr. Munson, who has recently
mastered the Finnish language, attempted
to converse with him in that tongue but the
driver held his own. Miss Hagberg, who
has for several years taught French, tried
her best to make him understand what they
wished, but in vain. He simply would not
"Parlez-vous." Miss Palm then made a
final effort in Swedish—the driver was hope-lessly
obstinate.
Whether the man understood what they
said or not is not known, but certain it is
that after a few moments reflection he
jumped out of the car and pulled a rope
30 31
JUNIORVILLE WEEKLY JUNIORVILLE WEEKLY
which rang a bell. The gate swung open
and in strolled Juniorville—innocent of all
guile—to the "sanctuary of Kultur."
Or friends had just begun to make them-selves
at home when his highness' royal aid
appeared and informed them that this was
anything but a public garden.
An exit was the only ethical thing under
the circumstances but Mrs. Welliver informs
us that in spite of this cold reception she
intends to pay his highness another visit
in the near future.
THREE ON ICE CAKE SAVED AT BRINK
OF FALLS
Rescurer Reaches Boys With Boat as
Frozen Mass Pauses Before Plunge.
Three boys, marooned on a cake of ice
in the Mississippi river today, had a perilous
ride downstream and were rescued at the
brink of the falls by Robt. Welliver.
Severely frightened by their hairbreadth
escape, the trio jumped from the boat,
which Welliver was rowing, and fled up the
bank ahead of Robert, who tried to get
their names.
Welliver feels very much embarassed to
think that the boys could escape from him,
for while in France during the Great World
War he won several medals for running.
Eighty-Eighth Birthday
Harold Lindblom celebrated his birthday
on Saturday. His good friend Mrs. Vernon
Baxter made him a "treat for the boys," a
fine big cake, decorated with eighty-eight
candles.
Mr. Lindblom frequently gathers the vil-lage
children about him and tells them of
the time "when I was ,a barefoot boy."
His favorite story, and one he never tires
of telling, is that of the days when he was a
Junior at Bethel.
Congratulations and good wishes, Mr.
Lindblom, from your many friends among us.
Ate Potato Bug Powder
Albert Sorensen, who lives alone about
two and one-half miles southwest of New
Finland, ate pancakes last Wednesday
made from potato bug powder and became
violently ill and is confined to his bed.

Will Lecture Wednesday on Big Game
in Africa
Carl Hogfelt, famous in literary circles
for his "Essay on Wild Animals" has re-cently
returned from his fourth big-game
hunting expedition in South Africa, and will
lecture in the Bethel Auditorium at 8:00
p. m. next Wednesday under the auspices
of the Juniorville Geographical Society.
Five gorillas, three parrots, and two ba-boons
were brought back to the Bethel
Zoological Museum when he returned from
his last hunting trip.
Mr. Hogfelt is a bachelor and has a pet
parrot of his own. He says they are so
much better to have around the house than
a wife for they will say only what you teach
them to say. He also states, contrary to the
popular notion, that many African baboons
are good-looking and some of them are hand-some.
We wonder what he would say of
some people if he saw them.
32
Writes Popular Novel
Miss Jewel Torkelson, Juniorville author,
has just published her latest novel, "A Girl
of the Period," which ranks first among the
books of the year.
It is a romance of small town life, but is
universal in its appeal. It will be of special
interest to citizens of Juniorville for it is
about them the plot of the book is woven.
The author has carefully camouflaged her
characters and yet left enough reality so we
can readily guess who they are in actual life.
It is not hard, for instance, to see that
the charming heroine, Isabel, who goes to
the city in search of adventure, is none
other than Elsie Wik. Then there's Stephen
Lockjaw, the ambitious lawyer, whom we
learn to admire because of his eloquent
oratory but who unfortunately is defeated
in a debate with Miss Wik's pet parrot—he
can be none other than Arthur Nyborg.
Two other characters who draw our atten-tion
and make us want to cheer for them
are Iwell Skinem, real estate man, who sug-gests
to us the name of Allan Munson and
Miss Spelt, his fascinating stenographer,
whom we recognize at once as Edith Palm.
There is one character, however, whom
we are unable to definitely identify. That
is Jonathan Barngate, the hero. The des-cription
of him is so vague it could apply to
33
almost anybody. Nevertheless he is a noble
and upright person in whom we become
deeply interested before the book ends.
Although we are unable to definitely say
who this Jonathan Barngate is, we have
some slight suspicions but we refrain from
expressing ourselves on this particular oc-casion
for certain obvious reasons.
Receives Patent on Faucet
Oscar Johnson of Swede Grove, was re-cently
granted a patent on a faucet he has
invented. This faucet can be turned to one
side and when in this position is out of the
way and at the same time is closed.
Personals
Arvid Hedburg left for Minneapolis Wed-nesday
morning to attend the undertaker's
convention held there this week.
Lois Thompson, our local teacher, went
to the cities Saturday morning to do some
shopping. It looks a little suspicious, Lois.
Miss Ellen Carlson of Hickorynut Bend,
underwent a serious operation last Wednes-day
evening. She had her hat removed by
an obliging usher in the Bethel Auditorium
while Prof. Vetter was lecturing to the
ladies on "You're Not so Old as You Think
Your Are."

FRESHMAN HISTORY, 1921-22
The class of 1925 boasts an enrollment superior to any other registered at Bethel
Academy, numbering about sixty members. They have at times been pointed out as having
a verdant aspect, nevertheless the eagerness and vivid life of the class has been commended.
Our basket ball team is one of the promising features. Although we didn't rank first in
the inter-class games, we fought a good fight. We have very promising material for future
championship, and with hard work and good coaching, we shall yet defeat the other classes.
Prior to this year, it has been the aim of some of the fun seeking members of the upper
classes to appear at the first freshmen class meeting. Their reward has generally consisted
of the much desired refreshments. This year from determination within the class and
through a clever stratagem, we enjoyed our delicious lunch ourselves mixed with plenty of
pep and class spirit.
It is everyone's duty to return next fall and as Sophomores show that we are able to
accomplish really remarkable things. Everyone of us who has any class pride will delight
in putting every bit of energy in bringing the class to a preeminent place. Let us each one
do our best to be a worthy advertisement of our school, and not only come back next year
ourselves, but return with at least one new student as a proof of our love and loyalty.
The class colors are royal blue and gold. For the Student Council, Roger Wickstrand
and Dora Carlson will represent the class next year.

"This is a goodly sort of a fellow."
The day was cold and dreary
But within was warmth and cheer;
So to the blazing fireplace
I drew my favorite chair.
I was in no mood for reading,
So as I sat musing alone,
I noticed a basket full of nuts,
And took out a single one.
It surely was a beauty;
So I looked the others o'er
And picking out all the choice ones
Found I had just twenty-four.
MILDRED PETERSON - Ogema, Wis. But what was this down at my feet?
"A merry heart goes a long way." Oh, two had rolled away
And seemed to be talking together
In such a friendly way.
At first it was only a whisper,
But as I closer drew,
And caught the sound of their voices
It was Miller and Edythe, I knew.
They seemed to be talking of others
Whom at Bethel they had known,
And some of whom they mentioned
Had names of great renown.
Then how, I cannot tell you,
They knew they were being heard
And so from out those two bright shells
I caught not another word.

But, I had discovered that secrets
Were concealed within each shell;
And so decided to crack them open,
For its story, each must tell.
The first one that I opened,
Told a story sweet and true,
Of a far-famed, much-loved singer,
Mabel Lundquist, it was you.
A breezy sound came from the next.
Roger Hanson was back from Mars
He had just returned in his airship,
From a tour among the stars.
The cracking of another nut
Shows Judith is still at shorthand,
But now she is teaching the Hottentots
And their lessons they write in the sand.
A surprise awaits us all this time.
For Margaret to Egypt has gone.
And discovered that our Gregg System
Was first found on the Rosetta Stone.
Here is one holds an orphan asylum.
With Myrtle as Matron, I see.
Mabel Lundstrom steps out of the next one,
And proves her assistant to be.
And this nut has never left Bethel,
For when we left our gift as a class,
Lillian said,"It always needs cranking,"
And she's stuck at her post, well, dear
lass.
Within this, is a Royal Palace.
Dora Johnson to Stockholm has gone.
And daily receives dictation
From the king as he sits on his throne.
One hard crack tells Olga's story.
She lives on royalty sure,
For having invented a wondrous device
By which a count to secure.

For such. Mildred has proven to be,

An oyster shell this nut must have,
For within a Pearl is found.
Admired by many, but owned by one,
Whose name I dare not sound.
And what about our Evelyn?
This shell seems hard to crack.
Oh, she has accomplished wonders
Found the needle in the hay-stack.
This is such a fat one,
But I hear it say OLIN.
His fame has crossed the Atlantic
Has his office in Aberdeen.
A doctor's assistant is Elsie
As this nut will tell you soon.
She looks after many patients
But her favorite is the Man in the Moon
How about this one from Hawaii?
Esther Okerstrom's face comes to view,
She's the president of the largest bank,
In the city of Honolulu.
This one does crack so quickly,
At once I see Dora's face.
She is still spending time in shorthand
But now works it in filet lace.
This nut has high aspiration,
U. S. President at Washington
But the thing that troubles me most is
How his daughter could be Swen-son.
Now comes your turn Miller and Edythe,
For you too, your story must tell.
"We'll always be happy together
No matter where we dwell."
And here I find two pedagogues,
Whose skill none can surpass,
The names of Anderson and Kent,
Are revered by many a class.
Dear me, there goes the door-bell. '
Three more for some other day,
But their fame and skill, I am certain
Each will show in a wondrous way.

BETHEL COMMERCIAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
A year ago a number of the graduates of the Bethel Academy Commercial Depart-ment
met in order to organize an alumni association. An association was organized and
officers were elected. The purpose of the association is to preserve student fellowship
and to further the best interests of the Commercial Department. The annual meeting was
held on Visitors' Day this year and the officers for the year 1922-23 were elected. They
are as follows: Eleanore Bonde, president; Gordon Bodien, vice president; Enoch John-son,
recording secretary; Ellen Hedlund, corresponding secretary; Edythe Bjorklund,
treasurer.
The membership of the association is not very large as yet, but the Department is
growing rapidly and this means that within a few years the B. C. A. A. will compare fav-orably
with the B. A. A. A.

FOOT BALL SEASON, 1921
Bethel Academy was represented by a football team in the fall of 1921. For the first
time in the history of the school outside teams were played. Mostly all the players were
inexperienced, so only two outside games were scheduled. Both of these battles were fought
with the Phalen Luther Seminary on the latter's grounds. The first contest was played on
October 15th, which the Lutherans tucked away with by a score of 9 to 7. This battle was
lost in the first quarter when the team seemed to be suffering from stage fright. The second
contest was seen on November 7th during a snowstorm. The affair was a 7 to 7 draw.
Bethel outplayed Luther, and during three-fourths of the second half the ball was within
Luther's thirty-yard line, but the local boys lacked the punch to put it over. In the game
between the Bethel "All Stars" and the Bethel " Bull Dogs," the former came out winners
by a score of 7 to 0.
Although five men are lost by graduation, there are many promising men in sight for
the 1922 team; and with the excellent captain, Rudolph Dahlquist, we expect to make a
good showing.
The eleven were under the instructions of our Coach, Mr. Willman.
Those who participated in the football for the 1921 season are:
Edward Viren . L. E. Henry Funk R. E.
Harold Lindblom L. T. Rudolph Dahlquist Q. B.
Claus Hammarstrom... L. G. Roland Miller L. H.
Henry Johnson . . C. Silas Shellman R. H.
Alford Hanson R. G. Adolph Johnson (Capt.) F. B.
William Hendrickson R. T.
Substitutions: George Carlson for Lindblom; Lloyd Lenning for Hanson; Alvin Pear-son
for Viren.

THE BASKET BALL SEASON, 1921-22
The percentage of the Bethel basket ball team for the 1921-22 season was .615. The
local boys played thirteen games, winning eight. Bethel fought only two battles on visit-ing
floors, one at Waconia and the other at the Agricultural School.
Bethel scored 246 points to 234 points for the opposing teams. Those who partici-pated
in the games were Lemuel Aldrich and Enoch Johnson as forwards; Adolph Johnson,
captain; at center, Roland Miller; Archie Vetter and Claus Hammarstrom as guards.
Professor August Wilman was coach; Rudolph Dahlquist and Edythe Bjorklund, yell
leaders; Emil Aspaas, manager.
Adolph Johnson and Lemuel Aldrich each caged 92 of the 246 points. Enoch Johnson
came third with 52 points; Hammarstrom scored 8 and Vetter 2. The baskets are as fol-lows:
Aldrich 36, E. Johnson 14, A. Johnson 46, Hammarstrom 4, and Vetter 1. Free
throws are as follows: Aldrich 20 out of 62, E. Johnson 24 out of 73, and A. Johnson none out
of 6.
For the first time in the history of the school a team from outside of the state was
played. This was the champion team of the Baptist churches of Des Moines, Iowa. Out
of a series of two games, each team won one.
Four of this year's players are lost for next year's team by graduation. This leaves
only two veterans, namely Aldrich and Vetter, for the 1922-23 season, but there was prom-ising
material in the second team.
The work of the team was on the whole very satisfactory. The boys played clean
and hard, and it is worthy of note that during the entire season no player was disqual-ified
because of personal fouls.
The second team won one out of four games during the past year. The players com-prising
this team were E. Hasselblad, captain; L. Lenning, R. Dahlquist, R. Wickstrand,
W. Hendrickson, E. Forssell, D. Larson, and G. Carlson.

Adolph Johnson
Adolph has stood at center for three years, and dur-ing
this time he has proved to be a rock upon which
many a team's hopes have been shattered. He is an
all around good player.
Lemuel Aldrich
"Lem" served a very short apprenticeship on the
scrubs. This year he was given a berth on the first
team and proved himself worthy of the position. In
spite of youth and inexperience he displayed real class
as a forward. He has two years left at Bethel.
Roland Miller
"Spuds' " hard and conscientious work on the second
team won him a position on the regulars this year.
His close guarding brought grief to many an am-bitious
forward.
Archie Vetter
Archie, although new at school as well as on the
team, proved to have in himself the stuff that guards
are made of. He has one more year at Bethel and we
will no doubt hear about him next year.
Enoch A. Johnson
"Enotch" served time on the scrubs but for the last,
two years he has had a berth with the regulars. His
endurance and fight made him a good man at one of
forward positions.
Claus Hammarstrom
"Ham" put in his first full year with the team this
year. His endurance and strength made him a good
man to call in when needed.

STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION
Bethel Academy believes in Student government. As a proof of this we point to the
Students' Association. It was organized about a year and a half ago. It is composed of
all the students of Bethel Academy.
The Executive Board of the Students' Association, or the Student Council, which is
composed of a certain number of representatives from each class among whom are the
officers of the Association, has general oversight of all student activities. It appoints the
various committees and boards that work under the association. These are the Athletic
Board, the Student Conduct Committee, and the Publicity Committee. It also appoints
the Clarion staff as well as managers for all athletic teams.
The Association has thus far proved to be a success, and has filled a gap that was very
evident before it existed. Considerable credit for the success of the Association is due to
Prof. E. A. Finstrom, who drew up the constitution.

THE CLARION
The Clarion is the official school paper of Bethel Academy. It is a twelve-page pub-lication,
issued once a month during the school year. The publication of this paper is
entirely in the hands of the students. The staff is appointed from among the students
by the executive committee of the Students' Association.
The Clarion is a new venture in a school publication for Bethel Academy. The first
issue came out in October, 1921. It is in several respects different from any of its prede-cessors.
It has aimed to give a faithful account of school activities in every department
and to work for a bigger and better Bethel.
60
THE MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION
The Ministerial Association of Bethel Academy is an organization composed of all the
students in the Academy who are preparing for the ministry.
Very little is said and little is known about this organization. The reason for this is,
however, not that it is inactive, but rather that it does its work in a quiet way; yet that
work is nevertheless effective. i
The work of the Association in school is done in seclusion but the results of these
labors are brought to light during the vacation months. Its members are then busily pro-claiming
the glad tidings of salvation and peace to the people in needy and neglected fields.
The work of the association has been carried on under the supervision and leadership
of Prof. Adolph Olson. Thirteen meetings have been held this year. Sermonettes and
extemporaneous speeches have been the most enjoyable feature of these meetings, but
sermon and sermon outline construction, and often destruction, have occupied the great-er
part of the time. Besides this other phases of the Ministerial calling have been studied.
SVEA SOCIETY
The Svea Society is the only foreign language literary society in Bethel Academy.
Its purpose is to stimulate interest in the Swedish language.
The Svea Society has a strong membership and holds meetings twice a month. All
programs are conducted in the Swedish language and consist of readings, addresses, de-bates,
etc. Besides the usual programs, an Annual Declamatory Contest is held. This
year's contest was held on March 11th and the winners were as follows: Mrs. A. Sten,
first prize; Ernest Olson, second prize.

MEN'S GLEE CLUB
1922 — Blue & Gray — 1922
BETHEL GLEE CLUB
This organization is made up of more than twenty "Jolly Fellows." It has during
the past added much to the name and record of Bethel's musical department. Through it,
Bethel has been represented in a worthy manner in the Twin Cities and throughout the
State of Minnesota. It participates in concerts at the Institute, and conducts annually a
concert tour. This year's tour includes the following places : Anoka, St. Cloud, Lake Eliz-beth,
Willmar, Grove City and Cokato.
The director is Prof. Geo. Hultgren. Through his efficient directorship the Glee Club
has received thorough instruction and training, which places it on a high standard among
other organizations of its kind. Prof. Hultgren is also director of the Arpi Male Chorus,
Minneapolis, and organist and musical director at the Swedish Tabernacle, Minneapolis.
We appreciate his efficient leadership and count it a privilege to have him as director.
Prof. A. H. Oberg is also a member of the chorus, and has served during the year as ac-companist.

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
The Student Volunteers is one of the liveliest organizations in Bethel Academy. More
than ten per cent of the students are members of this band and many more are now ready
to join.
Elsie Wik, Minnie Carlson, Harold Martinson, and Carl Ackerman were the dele-gates
from Bethel, at the State Student Volunteer Convention at Northfield, Minn., Feb-ruary
17 to 19.
Those who have gone out as foreign missionaries are as follows: Dr. and Mrs. Jonas
Ahlquist, Assam, India; Rudolph Crook, M. D., '13, Chengtu, •Szechuen, China; Frank
B. Rhenstrom, '15, East India; Victor H. Sword, '15, Assam, India; Mrs. Victor Sword

OLIVIA JOHNSON MEMORIAL MISSIONARY MOVEMENT
The Olivia Johnson Memorial Missionary Movement is now three years old. It was
organized in 1919, shortly after the death of Olivia Johnson. Three open programs have
been given this year, the annual one on May 28. Financially this has been a very success-ful
year. The fund is growing and soon we hope that sufficient money will have been col-lected
to erect some fitting memorial to our departed sister.
The officers of the movement this year have been, Emil Nylund, president; and Rus-sell
Bavin, secretary and treasurer. The other members of the executive committee are
Herbert Peterson, Edith Palm, Minnie Carlson, Ernest Olson, Sigfried Sandberg, Frank
Anderson, Dr. Hagstrom and Principal Wingblade.
64
THE ATHENAEAN SOCIETY
In almost every school there are a number of literary societies, whereas social organ-izations
are comparatively few. Education has failed of its purpose if only the mind is
developed and the social nature of the student is neglected. In view of this fact, the Ath-enaean
girls thought it advisable to make their society a social organization rather than
a literary one. The following officers were elected and served during the school year '21-'22:
EVANGELINE LANDBERG, President,
ELSIE WIK, Vice-president,
VINNETTE CARLSON, Secretary,
WILLIMINE THOMPSON, Treasurer.
Plans were immediately made for good times, and consequently several enjoyable
meetings were given. Just before the Christmas holidays, rumors were going about the
school that the Athenaeans had a surprise "up their sleeves." The climax came when
one Wednesday afternnon—that being Athenaean day—the boys and faculty were invited
down to the gymnasium where a good time had been prepared for all. In the life of a great
man there is usually some particular act by reason of which he claims distinction. Like-wise,
by their "All-School Party" this society acquired popularity.
This great event was supplemented with several more in the form of parties, hikes, etc.
ALPHA BETA LITERARY SOCIETY
A most important organization of the students is the literary society, which serves
to put into practice that which is taught us in the class room. The Alpha Beta Literary
Society is such an organization, where the rough material is developed into strength and
power, through the practical experience afforded in speeches, debates and orations. It is
purely a student organization and officered by the students. Meetings are held every
alternate Saturday evening, to which the public is always invited.
Under its auspices, a number of very interesting literary contests have been held.
The contests and their winners are as follows:
The Annual Reading Contest—Elsie Wik, first; Minnie Carlson, second.
The Oratorical Contest—Arthur Nyborg, first; Albert Sorenson, second.
The Girls' Declamatory Contest—Elsie Hagberg, first; Elsie Wik, second.

PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS
A class in Public Speaking is offered to all students who wish to avail themselves of
the opportunity. This class is free, and gives two semester's credit for a year's work. Those
preparing for the ministry or for missionary service are especially urged to take this course.
For those who need or desire more personal work, private lessons are arranged to suit
the time of the student. A charge is made for this at regular rates. Small private classes
may be elected for which a small fee is charged.
Public reading of the Bible is emphasized, and programs by the students are given at
chapel before the student body.
Other opportunities to appear before the public are given in the various contests:
Debating, Oratorical, Reading and Declamatory, and in the student recitals.

Now I lay me down to sleep
In my little bunk;
I hope to die before I wake
And thus escape a "flunk."
Prof.: "Well, class, I intended to give you
arsenic today, but I guess I'll put it off
until next week."
We have a man in our school,
And he has eyebrows three;
One between his nose and mouth,
Two where they ought to be.
A Junior's Dream
I'd like to be a Senior
And with the Seniors sit,
A fountain pen behind my ear,
A notebook in my mit.
I wouldn't be a president;
'Tis hard to be a king;
I wouldn't be an emperor
For all the wealth 'twould bring.
I wouldn't be an angel,
For angels have to sing;
I'd rather be a Senior
And never do a thing.—S. N. S.
